Technology sure has advanced since my asics gt 3000 last Asics. Would you say that cushioning is the most important intervention in preventing shock/jarring (especially to body as a whole, not just lower body)? Any thoughts you might have are greatly appreciated.Hi& I discovered your site today and I think it's great. Here's my issue& .I'm a 60 year old, pretty fit woman who goes to a mixed gym group. We do circuit training, indoor hockey or basketball, and run quite a bit, too. I don't really understand about all this pronation business. I feel I need a shoe with good cushioning as I get a certain amount of pain in my legs and joints as the gym floor is very hard.

I would be grateful if you could recommend a shoe for someone like me. I tried on the Asics Gel Kayano 21 the other day and it felt very comfortable. Could this be a asics gt 2000 4 womens good shoe for me? Thanks!!Hi! Just discovered this site today. I'm looking for a new pair of running shoes, saw this Asics Gel Kayano 21 but not sure if they are the perfect ones for me. I'm looking for long runs shoes. I'm trainning for a half marathon which is at asics kayano womens 23 the end of the month. I'm looking to spend about maxinun £100 ThanksHi, I am a 36 year old female. I used to run 3 to 4 times a week for 30 minutes.

The LE2s are old and I feel the support and cushioning is giving way which could be the reason for the right knee pains on longer runs. The BB5s I find tend to play on my Achilles and strain it on longer runs and leave my feet aching after longer runs, but are a dream for shorter and faster tempo runs. With regards to my running style, I am a asics kayano 24 mens slight heel striker with a small outward roll. In saying this I am looking for a shoe to run a marathon in and all my longer runs. I want a shoe where my feet ache during/ after runs and that are not too bulky and heavy so I can try improve times.

Anyway I've noticed that, after a certain distance, my shins start to hurt and will hurt for the next couple of days. This limits the distance I can run each week. I think the main brunt of my (rather heavy) footstrike is mid-sole to heel- which puts a lot of stress on my shins and knees. For the past six months, I've been using Brooks Ghost 7's, which were recommended for me after having a gait analysis done in a running shop. I'm finding that these really don't provide the cushioning I require. So, I'm looking into the more cushioning-heavy styles of shoe. Having read both reviews, I've narrowed it down to the Adidas Ultra Boost (though I have heard these aren't so good for people with wider feet), the Asics Gel Kayano 21 and the Haka One One Clifton.

I tried a few Nike shoes, but they seem tight. Few Reebok shoes asics nimbus 19 mens work for me though, don't remember the names. Could you suggest me some shoes from Reebok/Asics/Skechers/Umbro or any other brand which would suit my foot. Thanks. =ØBÞHey, I have a question I hope you cen help with. I recently started running again. I have begun having issues with Achilles tendonitis, where the pain is just above the heel. I used to always run in Asics, but the last two shoes I used were Nikes and Brooks. Do you think the 21's could help with this issue?Hi. You're reviews are very helpful. I need some help finding a new shoe.
